"Dark Things" is like a cross between Jehst and the sort of beats the Louis Slipperz used to be known for, except that here the brother has a lot more leftfield electronics to deal with. A bangher on all fronts. "X Rated" is similarly lo-fi in its approach, coming through with hazy, murky instruments to carry the crew's gun-mannered vocal rants into hyperspace. Bad, bad tunes here. Warmly recommended.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Elefant Doc](Doc/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [GG249]( [Pressed]( [Elephant Doc is up there among the more interesting of new bass talents on the street and, crucially, one of the few remaining dubstep producers who specializes in the deeper and darker end of the spectrum - a much needed rarity. "GG249 Dub" carries a powerful, heartical swing to make the steps supremely dubwise in a way that few other tunes have done in recent times; the likes of Mala would be very keen, indeed. Newcomer Perverse steps up for the remix duty, the artist comes through with a version carrying a lot more percussive weight and, of course, enough mutant bass to make Skream's early tunes seem antiquated by comparison. Well, at least this dude is pushing things forward!]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Silkie]( [Drunken Master/Why Not]( [Anti Social](Social/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [OG slimer Silkie takes us out on the town and drinks us under the table. "Drunken Master" chugs a lug with its oddball bass ruffles and creepy arpeggio layers building and building, "Why Not" is the quintessential brandy chaser, easing you in smoothly with his signature funk before warming your chest with darker bass tones. Brought together with Silkie's trademark talkbox finesse, the only woozy after effects will be a love hangover. Blessy.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Sepia]( [Eclipse EP]( [Deep Dark & Dangerous](Dark+%2526+Dangerous/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Sepia's move to Deep Dark & Dangerous is the natural turnout for an artist whose been residing on our charts with nothing but bangers for the last few years. The imprint is quickly picking up all the relevant talents, and is quickly becoming an important force when it comes to new waves of dubstep. "Sakura" charges forth with a militant bass stance, followed by "Eclipse" and its glitchy half-steps surrounded by eerie background sonics. "Point Blank" goes down more soulful pastures, nodding to the likes of Burial in the process, while "Regret" tunes down the tempo entirely and ends up at a slow, Eastern lull with a booming sub bass for added effect. Sublime material from Sepia!]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Gastah]( [Apollo]( [Brunswick Sound](Sound/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Brunswick Sound welcome Gastah to their catalogue, and it feels like they've just gone and recruited a producer who will have plenty to say over the coming years, and who is surely a keeper in terms of voracious grime deployment. This mighty fine extended EP kicks off with the gully sci-fi bass of "Apollo", surely an instant classic, while other tunes like "Ether" and "Sun's End" carry enough melodic swing to render them accessible to all sorts of DJs outside the grime equation. The likes of Plastician, or even Wiley, are probably shedding a little tear right now just thinking about what influence they've had on the UK bass scene...]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Terror Danjah & Irah](Danjah+%2526+Irah/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Lyrical Weapon]( [Hardrive]( [Like a round of AK47 bullets and a waft of G13 haze, Terror Danjah steps through the place alongside Irah, and their pair have clearly got one single-minded objective on their agenda: VIBING. "Lyrical Weapon" sees the two artist's pair up on what feels like the right move for the both and, clearly, the perfect calibration of efforts from the Hardrive imprint; the title tune is a twisted barrage of machine-gun percussion, murky bass slewing, and vocal terrorism that really gives Mr Danjah his credentials as a purveyor or hard-ass, twisted beat making. Lucky for you, there's a cleaner edit for radio playback, and an instrumental if you wanna get creative on the decks.

On "Deep Summer", Shreeve has really found another dimension to his sound: going less for the jugular like his recently harsh textural abrasions. This sombre and bittersweet ambient journey is kept pace by subtle, reverb drenched beats and hypnotic waves of metallic noise: all the while accompanied by angelic vocal passages. And let's not ignore the elephant in the room here: yes, there is a remix by the one and only Burial. His rendition was not what we were expecting, but captivating as always. Let's just say that this ambient house odyssey is the perfect accompaniment to a Lynchian styled island dream.]( [Also new this week]( [View all]( [RMS]( / [Dcision]( / [Shotz]( [Down Deeper EP]( [Inner City Dance](City+Dance/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_also+new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Bonzi]( [Lethal]( [Bassclash]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Gramatik]( / [Galactic Marvl](Marvl/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_also+new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Voyager Twins]( [Lowtemp]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Hugeative]( [Role Model]( [Firepower]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( Various [Year Three Compilation]( [Unified Audio](Audio/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_also+new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Still hot]( [View all]( [Amit]( [Thakurs Army]( [AMAR]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Cnamha]( [Identity]( [Brunswick Sound](Sound/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_still+hot&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Kloudmen]( [ENC013]( [Encrypted Audio](Audio/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_still+hot&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( Various [Gold]( [Versed]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Doctor Jeep & Magugu](Jeep+%2526+Magugu/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_still+hot&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Pidgin EP]( [Tuba]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Daega Sound](Sound/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_still+hot&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Hatched 14]( [Hatched]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Featured label: Hardrive]( [View all]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Dok]( [Grove VIP]( [Hardrive]( [Card carrying Aftershock crew member, D.O.K returns to Terror Danjah's Hardrive imprint with a foursome of one-inch-punches. Maintaining the subtle game theme he established with "Golden Axe" and "Golden Eye", "Grove VIP" ignites with raw 8-bit cascades while synth-horns add a sense of trappy agitation. "Kaboom" compounds the horns with added hype in a way that more than confirms the track title. Seasick bass a-go-go: "Smeg" takes us back around 10 years ago when the relationship between grime and dubstep was a lot closer and twisted. Finally we hit "Cherry Bomb", an eski-referencing slapper, bolstered by an orchestral backdrop and loaded with classic vocal rhythmic samples. Uppercuts!]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Dexplicit]( [Metroid]( [Hardrive]( [The often anonymous man behind a hundred dubs and a thousand major hits, Dexplicit returns to his grime roots with two hard-stepping instrumentals. There's a Sticky vibe to "Metroid" thanks to the 8-bit spikes and stripped back funk. "Sour Sop" takes the funk in a different direction with a pimp-tight steel drum sample diced, spliced and used as a rifle-ready rhythm device. Jump on it now and stash it up for carnival season.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Terror Danjah](Danjah/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_featured+label%3A+hardrive&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Mars/Mike Gully]( [Hardrive]( [Danjah dusts off the previously dormant Hardrive machine for the first release in several years. Two instrumentals deep, this is how it goes: "Mars" begins with creepy, shoulder-hunching eeriness before getting darker and darker with demonic, processed vocal elements. "Mile Gully", meanwhile, is all about the bassline that rises and stretches and slaps itself raw over a beat that shuffles rather than slices. Heavy.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Trends]( [Blood Shed EP]( [Hardrive]( [First and foremost, Trends should be introduced in relation to his Mean Streets label. He's running a tight operation there and, if you're into your bad-tempered dubstep, it's certainly a label to be tuned into. He makes frequent appearances elsewhere, however, and this new EP for the Hardrive imprint is him all over. "Blood Shed", for instance, is a natural creeper, the sort of big, bad and stomping bass machine-gun with a menacing injection of low hertz; "Red Stripe Riddim" is similarly twisted and cavernous in its approach, but the tempo is much speedier here, and it's as if the entire tune has been given a shot of adrenaline and, well, a few Red Stripes. "Oxygen" takes things down a peg, offering a sleazy, liquid-like bass rhythm that manages to fuse bass, strings and beats together with the upmost ease and flair.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Terror Danjah](Danjah/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_featured+label%3A+hardrive&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Fire]( [Hardrive]( [FACT: When Trigga and Dot Rotten come through they set the dance on fire. Terror's pretty lit in the beat department, too; rolling drums, staggered glitches, and freaky twists ensure the instrumental bangs as hard as the premiership MCs. Extinguish the scorching club fire with a deeper, sexier more rap-inspired cut with Rotten taking solo mic duties. Smouldering and sentiment-laden, this covers some serious ground.]( [Coming soon]( [View all]( [Vexxe]( [Island Of Ys/U155]( [Sure State](State/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_coming+soon&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [D-Operation Drop](Drop/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_coming+soon&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Wrong Dosage]( [Surfase]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( Various [Milc Presents Milc Dubs]( [Milc]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Coki]( feat [Trixx]( [Heights EP]( [Don't Get It Twisted](27t+Get+It+Twisted/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_coming+soon&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Roshi]( [The King]( [Octane Audio](Audio/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_coming+soon&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Toddla T](T/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-07-17&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_coming+soon&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Foreign Light]( [Steeze]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( Featured DJ charts [ju]( [Best of Dub]( [Pushloop]( [Purple Tapestry]( [Deep Dark & Dangerous]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Ago]( [Zero Shift]( [Innamind Recordings]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy](
